An important period in the history of the Catholic Church in the United States is captured by one of the people who made that history: James Shannon, the first bishop to resign from his office over a matter of conscience. Bishop James Shannon marched shoulder to shoulder with Martin Luther King in Selma, protested the Vietnam War before it was fashionable, was elected the spokesperson for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, was the youngest college president in the country, hosted a landmark NBC Special on "The New American Catholic, " and decided he had to resign when he felt like a hypocrite trying to defend Humanae Vitae which he saw as harmful to people's lives.
